Write the name and function of different venacava and aorta connected to heart
Answers
Explanation:
The aorta is the main artery that carries blood away from your heart to the rest of your body. The blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve. Then it travels through the aorta, making a cane-shaped curve that allows other major arteries to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the brain, muscles and other cells.
A large vein that carries blood to the heart from other areas of the body. The vena cava has two parts: the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. The superior vena cava carries blood from the head, neck, arms, and chest.
Explanation:
Aorta is the main artery of the body, which begins at the left ventricle of the heart. The aortic valve separates aorta from the heart and composes three leaflets. Further, it opens in each heartbeat, allowing one-way flow of blood from the heart to the aorta. The aorta is about one inch in diameter. The four sections of the aorta are the ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending thoracic aorta, and the abdominal aorta.
Vena cava refers to the largest type of veins in the body, which drains deoxygenated blood from the body to the right atrium of the heart. The two types of venae cavae attached to the right atrium are superior and inferior vena cava.
